Lin Hao stood outside the Time Tower.
He looked at the towering structure for a moment.
Inside were the six elders and Lin Wei.
They were currently cultivating on the third floor.
With the ten-thousand-times time acceleration, they had more than enough time to strengthen themselves.
Lin Hao nodded with satisfaction.
But after thinking about it for a while, another problem came to mind.
He knew almost nothing about this world.
He had been reincarnated into the body of Lin Hao.
He had awakened the Clan-Building System.
He had obtained overwhelming cultivation.
He had even gained infinite Family Points.
Yet…
He barely understood the world around him.
Lin Hao frowned.
“System.”
[Yes, Host?]
“I want information about this world.”
[What level of information does the Host require?]
Lin Hao thought for a moment.
“Everything.”
The System remained silent for a moment.
Lin Hao continued.
“The Mortal World.”
“I want information about its continents, cultivation forces, sects, clans, organizations, resources, treasures, dangerous areas, secret realms, rankings…”
He paused.
“Everything that a person needs to know to survive in the cultivation world.”
[Understood.]
[The System recommends the Complete Mortal World Information Package.]
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow.
“How much?”
[100 Family Points.]
Lin Hao stared at the System.
“That’s it?”
[Yes.]
Lin Hao laughed.
“Buy it.”
[Purchase successful.]
[Beginning information transfer.]
The moment the System finished speaking—
A massive amount of information suddenly entered Lin Hao’s mind.
It wasn’t a book.
There were no words that he needed to read.
It was knowledge.
Complete understanding.
Lin Hao closed his eyes.
For a few moments, he remained completely still.
Then he opened them.
“So that’s how this world works.”
The Mortal World
The world Lin Hao currently lived in was known as the Mortal World.
It was vast.
Far vaster than he had originally imagined.
The Mortal World contained nine enormous continents.
Each continent possessed countless cities, kingdoms, sects, clans, cultivation families, secret realms, dangerous regions, and ancient inheritances.
And the strength of the continents was not equal.
There was a clear difference between them.
The Nine Continents
1.
Azure Cloud Continent
The weakest of the nine continents.
It possessed limited cultivation resources and relatively weak cultivation forces.
This was where the Lin Clan was located.
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow.
“So we’re on the weakest continent.”
He continued reading the information in his mind.
2.
Eastern Star Continent
Stronger than Azure Cloud Continent.
It possessed more powerful cultivation forces, greater resources, and more advanced cultivation inheritances.
3.
Heavenfall Continent
A powerful cultivation continent containing numerous major sects and clans.
4.
Golden Sun Continent
A prosperous continent with abundant cultivation resources and powerful forces.
5.
Bluewind Continent
A considerably stronger continent with numerous powerful clans, sects, and ancient inheritances.
6.
Spirit Origin Continent
A continent rich in Spiritual Qi and cultivation resources.
Many powerful cultivation forces had established their foundations there.
7.
Canglan Continent
One of the strongest continents in the Mortal World.
Ancient clans and powerful sects existed throughout the continent.
8.
Starfall Continent
The second-strongest continent in the Mortal World.
Its overall cultivation strength was terrifying.
Countless powerful sects, ancient clans, Holy forces, Sacred forces, and extremely powerful cultivators existed there.
9.
Eternal Dawn Continent
The strongest continent in the Mortal World.
It possessed the greatest concentration of powerful forces and the most terrifying existences.
Most importantly…
The Forbidden Lands were located there.
Lin Hao’s expression became serious.
“Forbidden Lands?”
The information continued.
The Forbidden Lands were ancient regions that even the strongest Mortal World cultivators treated with extreme caution.
Some had existed since ancient eras.
Some contained unknown dangers.
Some were connected to ancient inheritances.
And some contained secrets that had never been fully understood.
Lin Hao nodded slowly.
“So Eternal Dawn really is on another level.”
Sect and Clan Rankings
Lin Hao continued absorbing the information.
The System explained that sects and clans were classified according to their overall strength.
The ranking system applied to both sects and families.
However, possessing one powerful cultivator alone was not enough.
The Star ranking began at 1-Star and ended at 6-Star.
After that, the classification changed.
1-Star Sect or Clan
Minimum Members: 3,000
Required Power:
– At least 10 Qi Refining cultivators
– At least 1 Foundation Establishment cultivator 2-Star Sect or Clan Minimum Members: 10,000 Required Power:
– At least 50 Foundation Establishment cultivators
– At least 1 Core Formation cultivator
3-Star Sect or Clan
Minimum Members: 30,000
Required Power:
– At least 150 Core Formation cultivators
– At least 1 Nascent Soul cultivator
4-Star Sect or Clan
Minimum Members: 100,000
Required Power:
– At least 300 Nascent Soul cultivators
– At least 1 Soul Transformation cultivator
5-Star Sect or Clan
Minimum Members: 300,000
Required Power:

– At least 1 Void Refining cultivator
6-Star Sect or Clan
Minimum Members: 1,000,000
Required Power:
– At least 1,000 Void Refining cultivators
– At least 1 Body Integration cultivator
Lin Hao stared at the requirements.
His expression became strange.
“One million members…”
He shook his head.
The Lin Clan currently didn’t even come close.
And then there were the forces above the Star ranks.
Holy Land / Holy Clan
Minimum Members: 2,000,000
Required Power:
– At least 300 Body Integration cultivators
– At least 10 Tribulation Transcendence cultivators Sacred Land / Sacred Clan Minimum Members: 5,000,000 Required Power:
– At least 500 Tribulation Transcendence cultivators
– At least 10 Mahayana cultivators
Forbidden Land / Forbidden Clan
Minimum Members: 10,000,000
Required Power:
– At least 1,000 Mahayana cultivators
– At least 3 Peak Mahayana cultivators
Lin Hao’s expression finally became serious.
“Three Peak Mahayana…”
He had already learned that Mahayana Realm was the peak cultivation realm of the Mortal World.
A force possessing three experts at the peak of that realm…
That was truly terrifying.
“So those are the forces that stand at the peak of the Mortal World.”
Lin Hao continued absorbing the information.
Azure Cloud Continent
The information about his current continent appeared next.
The Azure Cloud Continent was the weakest of the nine continents.
Its strongest recognized force was a 3-Star Sect.
Lin Hao raised his eyebrows.
“The strongest force is only 3-Star?”
The System confirmed it.
[Correct.]
Lin Hao smiled.
“Interesting.”
The major cultivation forces on Azure Cloud Continent included:
Azure Cloud Sect
Rank: 3-Star Sect
The strongest sect on the Azure Cloud Continent.
It possessed the greatest influence and strongest cultivation foundation on the continent.
Golden Mountain Sect
Rank: 2-Star Sect
Clear River Sect
Rank: 2-Star Sect
Crimson Flame Sect
Rank: 2-Star Sect
Iron Mountain Sect
Rank: 1-Star Sect
White Cloud Sect
Rank: 1-Star Sect
Lin Hao continued.
There were also several powerful cultivation families.
Zhao Family
Rank: 2-Star Family**
Wang Family
Rank: 2-Star Family**
Chen Family
Rank: 2-Star Family**
Li Family
Rank: 1-Star Family**
Sun Family
Rank: 1-Star Family**
Ye Family
Rank: 1-Star Family**
Then Lin Hao saw one final entry.
Lin Clan
Rank: Unranked
Lin Hao stared at it.
He wasn’t surprised.
The Lin Clan had never been a cultivation family.
They were simply an ordinary mortal family.
Until now.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Hao’s face.
“Unranked…”
He shook his head.
“That won’t last forever.”
Major Organizations
The Mortal World wasn’t controlled entirely by sects and clans.
There were also several enormous organizations that existed across multiple continents.
Treasure Pavilion
A massive organization involved in the trading of cultivation resources.
They dealt in:
– Spirit Stones
– Pills
– Weapons
– Treasures
– Spiritual herbs
– Cultivation techniques
– Rare materials
– Ancient treasures
They also hosted auctions.
The Treasure Pavilion possessed branches across the Mortal World.
Lin Hao nodded.
“Useful.”
Then he continued.
Heavenly Intelligence Pavilion
An organization specializing in information.
They possessed information about:
– Sects
– Clans
– Cultivators
– Rankings
– Secret realms
– Ancient ruins
– Treasures
– Dangerous regions
– Major events
Lin Hao’s eyes lit up.
“Information really is valuable.”
Shadow Hall
A mysterious organization specializing in assassination.
Their members operated throughout the Mortal World.
They accepted missions involving powerful cultivators and influential forces.
Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed.
“Assassins.”
He memorized the name.
Divination Pavilion
A mysterious organization specializing in divination.
Its members studied:
– Fate
– Heavenly Secrets
– Divination
– Destiny
– Causality
Even powerful cultivators treated the organization carefully.
Lin Hao nodded.
“So the Mortal World is much more complicated than I thought.”
Cultivation Resources
The information continued.
The Mortal World possessed countless cultivation resources.
Among the most important were Spirit Stones.
There were five grades of Spirit Stones.
Low Grade Spirit Stone
Middle Grade Spirit Stone
High Grade Spirit Stone
Top Grade Spirit Stone
Supreme Grade Spirit Stone
Each higher grade contained a greater concentration and purity of Spiritual Qi.
Lin Hao smiled.
“Good.”
He had infinite Family Points.
If he needed Spirit Stones…
He could simply purchase them.
The System Mall truly contained almost everything.
Lin Hao continued absorbing the information.
The Mortal World contained countless secret realms.
Ancient ruins.
Dangerous forbidden regions.
Ancient battlefields.
Spiritual mountains.
Mystical oceans.
Ancient inheritances.
Rare treasures.
Powerful beasts.
And countless other opportunities.
The world was enormous.
Much larger than the Lin Clan could possibly understand right now.
Lin Hao finally opened his eyes.
He stood silently for several seconds.
“So this is the Mortal World.”
He looked toward the distant sky.
The Lin Clan was currently located on the weakest continent.
The strongest force on their continent was only a 3-Star Sect.
Above them were countless stronger continents.
Starfall.
Eternal Dawn.
Holy Lands.
Sacred Lands.
Forbidden Lands.
And countless powerful cultivators.
Lin Hao smiled.
“Interesting.”
He wasn’t afraid.
Instead…
He was excited.
He had already obtained the strongest cultivation in the entire world.
He possessed infinite Family Points.
He had the Clan-Building System.
And now he finally understood the world around him.
Lin Hao looked toward the Time Tower.
The seven members of his family were still cultivating inside.
“Take your time.”
He smiled.
“We have plenty of it.”
Then Lin Hao looked toward the distant horizon.
The Mortal World was enormous.
And the Lin Clan had only just begun.
